Hi! New at this. Choosing the right Mod/Kit!

Or the one which should never ever be sold in Chile because of the name

Really? Pico de gallo is a national condiment of Mexico and California.

Welcome to ECF, @BigBadLion !

Welcome to ECF, @BigBadLion !

Possibly for mexicans Pico de gallo will be fine, we use that too for our but "Pico" alone is a no no especially on a mod. It could be either embarrassing or quite funny. Like me thinking of gifting one to my brother

 

[BigBadLion]

Duplicated!

Go get your aegis X lol. Many here love the aegis max (single 18650 to 21700 batteries) just in case

Lol! In the end I ended buying a vaporesso Gen Mod as thanks to the pandemic not many things were on stock (and this one was pretty much the last one available!)

Welcome to ECF and congratulations on quitting smoking, and good luck in your journey...

I wanted to ask, it sounds like vaping is legal then where you are?

You know if you order from Fasttech, you can save some money from your local prices.

Hi!

Who I want to stop smoking is my husband, not me! And I really... REALLY hope this makes the trick! So thaaaanks!

Also, it's legal in here as far as I know! And besides the Vaporesso Gen Mod I bought, I also got a Voopoo Drag X from Fasttech! I don't really know the website so I just got the best under 30 USD I could find to see how long it'll take to arrive (that way the price is below the tax de minimis). Depending how it takes I might start ordering there in the future! The prices in here can be super high!

@BigBadLion, the Dovpo Topside Lite is a proper mod. You can set it up as a regulated Squonk or normal mod.

It allows for the use of Tanks, RTA's, RDTA's and RDA's.

Also it uses a 21700 cell or battery, so it'll cover a wide resistance and wattage range.

What I meant with that is how it "looks" hah. It looks way too different to the other ones I've seen. Also, it's not available where I live sadly! Thanks for the extra information tho, everything helps!

As you have seen... many people here to help you. Looks like you have a good plan. Still, whatever mod/kit you decide on (still too soon for rebuildables but keep those in mind... maybe get one anyway for later) I really suggest just getting a simple AIO device also (for now) I know this is all a lot to think about but if you can afford it, we can help you get good deals and be set for awhile

Thanks for the tip! In the end tho I bought the Gen Kit! And I'm loving it! I tried a 50/50 e-liquid tho but the tank peed like there was no tomorrow (never again!)

And I'm def. thinking about getting a proper RTA for the future!

Oh lol! What an interesting name hah, and it all depends on the context I believe! I'm sure more than one person will absolutely love to have a "pico" mod haha.


Thanks everyone for the kind welcome!

No worries @BigBadLion, do you have any ideas on if it's possible to get stuff imported to you from China?

As that's where a lot of us get our various bits and pieces of hardware from, apart from batteries. As it does open your options up a little.

Totally possible! Even my country has a FTA with China and I usually buy stuff from Aliexpress hah.

I already ordered a Drag X from FutureTech so depending how long it takes for the device to arribe I might end buyinh more stuff there!

That's good to know, have the occasional look at Bargain Bin Treasures! @BigBadLion. There's some good deals posted which may be of interest to you, just keep an eye on the latest updates.

Sorry for the mix up, for some reason I thought both you and your husband were quitting... well good for you for looking out for his best interests.. (men would be nowhere good without the women behind them! )

In normal times, epacket shipping services from China to the U.S. has been running me around 3-4 weeks... but it can be a savings (sometimes a significant one!)..

Just a heads up, these aren't normal times and Fasttech has been pretty slammed lately though, so shipping may be slightly longer than their usual man in a rowboat rowing his way across the ocean.. lol

Good luck to you, and glad you picked a couple things up!

No problem for the mixup! Hah, but we're two dudes too (don't worry about that as well, I wasn't exactly clear regarding that )

Today I got a message from FastTech that my package was sent, so that's already a very good sign!

Thanks for the info!

Well I think I've made all possible errors one human can make through assuming... I'm just not yet modern-day efficient I guess, so I'm sticking my foot in my mouth!

Well good on you anyway, for standing behind your man!

And perhaps I'll learn to be more observant in the future. Glad you have a good sense of humor!

Welcome to the forums... you'll fit in well around here!

Haha! Don't worry! I know it was an honest mistake and there was no ill intent!

Thanks again for the welcome! In general I'm more of a lurker but everytime I see something interesting I'll drop a word or two!

Yeah I browsed chilean sites and there wasnt much in stock. What colour did you get?

Try using a higher VG juice and also make sure the coils threads are done properly. If you want to avoid leaks altogether look for to airflow RTA

Winner

This is the one I was thinking it will be funny for you both as will be for my brother

Hello @BigBadLion and welcome to ECF.

Haha, I had to look up what Pico means in Chile. Too funny, thanks for the laughs. You could put some black electrical tape over "iStick Pico".

But seriously, I love my Pico 75w's and Pico Squeeze 2's that @Aliraonz posted. Both are very solid in hand. And comfy to hold! Ok, for real, they are great mods.

Now the Chilean meaning for Pico will be stuck in my head every time I use one of my Pico's.

I wanted Gen S Lime Green but it's not being imported yet

After that my next options were the green, the purple, the blue or the red... and NONE of those were available hah. My only choice was the silver one which I suppose looks good too, but the dual color ones were prettier!

And totally, the amount of liquid everywhere was a bit too much for my own tastes! So I won't be vaping 50/50 for the foreseeable future!

And OMG, the name, hah. It's perfect
